Treat Yourself At Starbucks

Did you know that Starbucks offers 2 free hours a day of WiFi access if you get a gift card (you can use it for yourself), register it online at starbucks.com/wifi and put a minimum of $5 on it and use it at least once every 30 days. Sounds like a lot of hurtles but it isn't really, if you love WiFi and Starbucks, which I do! I also love their Starbucks iTunes free download of the week cards with a redeem number on the back you can pick up at the register. These are different from the iTunes free download of the week songs.

While on the subject of Starbucks, which I feel is an important indulgence, I want to talk about my absolute favorite (which was limited edition and therefore no more) and one I just discovered.

My absolute favorite Starbucks coffee is "Kopelani Blend" which is a blend of african, latin american and Kona coffees and Starbucks describes as "juicy and refined"... very smooth. And my new discovery is called the "Komoto Dragon Blend" which Starbucks describes as "herbal and cedary spice" and a pound of it only costs $11.95. When you need your Starbucks fix but can't afford a daily purchase it is a nice way to still treat yourself well.

Barnes & Noble bookstores has announced free unlimited WiFi at their stores.
